Owen Pallett → Heartland → “Oh Heartland, Up Yours!”
Lyrics
The stars collected.
Each world accounted for.
Freed all the children.
Seems there’s nothing more.
If I only had a rowboat, I would row it up to heaven.
And if heaven would not have me, I would take the other option.
I will seek out my own satisfaction.
From the wight lying in the barrow,
To the priest with his broken arrows.
There’s a method to the madness.
They will feign an expression of sadness.
A concatenation of locusts,
And the farmers are losing their focus.
On the pitch of the Avenroe grasses
I will sing, sing, sing to the masses
Oh Heartland, up yours!
The hollow voice of our 14th century.
Too much assumption to be taken seriously.
Oh, you wrote me like a Disney kid, in cut-offs and a beater
With a feathered fringe, it doesn’t suit a simoniac breeder.
Doesn’t work, doesn’t fly, doesn’t handle.
From the wight lying in the barrow,
To the priest with his broken arrows.
There’s a method to the madness.
They will feign an expression of sadness.
A concatenation of locusts,
And the farmers are losing their focus.
On the pitch of the Avenroe grasses
I will sing, sing, sing to the masses
Oh Heartland, up yours!
My homeland.
I will not sing your praises here.
